Every month, Scopus updates the list of academic journals that have lost their indexing. The Scientific Publications company has prepared a list of publications that lost their indexing in June 2026, as well as the reasons for their exclusion.
Publishing a scientific paper is an important stage of any research project, yet a mistake at the journal-selection stage can undo years of work. How can a reliable journal be told apart from a fly-by-night one? Which criteria should the choice be based on? Here is how to build an algorithm for choosing a scientific journal and reduce the risk of rejection or of losing a publication altogether.
For most researchers, the reporting period turns into a period of last-minute pressure: articles are not yet ready, while deadlines have already been set. How can publication work be structured so that the necessary materials come out on time? What stages does a manuscript go through from concept to indexation? This article addresses all of these questions.
Psychiatrist, lecturer and PhD candidate in nutritional science and dietetics, Begimai discusses combining clinical practice with academic work. You will also learn why a practising doctor needs publications in scientific journals, and what lies behind her decision to continue her studies in a doctoral programme abroad.
The article is prepared, the structure is sound, the reference list is formatted – and yet a rejection still arrives. Does this situation sound familiar? In practice, editorial boards are guided by a number of criteria that are not always set out explicitly in the author guidelines. Which of these most often go unnoticed? We analyse precisely what editors and reviewers pay attention to when assessing manuscripts.
Publishing an article in a Scopus-indexed journal takes considerably longer than writing the text itself. How many stages does a manuscript pass through from submission to indexing? How can the timeline be planned so that the article appears in the database before the year ends? We examine what makes up the overall timeframe and which parameters are worth considering at the submission stage.
